Sweet FA.

Its back to normal tomorrow so making the most of the last day.

Featured in PB mag this month and i can see these are a great idea for sportsbikes but £172? How do the justify that? They get a great review but.... Hopefully we will see some more sensibly priced options soon. https://www.performanceparts-ltd.com/road/bmw/136_s-1000-rr-15-16/2015/categories/footpe...

Has anyone replaced the pinch bolts on calipers before? Seems straightforward enough but is there any downside to removing these bolts on such an important part?

Would guess replacing one at a time is the way to go so as not to split the caliper.

Duke, that ride out was ace, even if it did piss it down on the way home and I tried my best to highside the Street

Must do it again this year.

Good bye 2017 and Hello 2018 Happy New year one and all. Some great memories from 2017. Trips away with the wife to Bologna, Barcelona, Paris and the South of France. Being part of the Catalan revolution whilst in Barcelona. :D Biking trips to the IOM and France/Belgium. Memorable nights in Orleans ...

Happy new year Sir TB.

When were you knighted BTW?

Cheers Blade. Thought it would be but the spare threw me.

I'm thinking of replacing the bolts on the calipers too. Pinch bolts, pad pins and caliper bolts.

Not cheap but since the bike is staying with me, it seems a decent investment.

The originals are nearly 20 years old now.

So changing the front brake lines on the 748 from a single from the Brake m/c to a twin racing style set up. Should i fit the ends at the brake m/c as follows: Bolt Copper washer First brake line Copper washer Second brake line copper washer Brake m/c I only ask as there seems to be an extra copper ...

Going to ring Ducati Coventry on Tuesday and get mine booked in. Its going to be a massive recall as so many different makes of bikes are fitted with these now.

PB this month also has an article at Valle de Vienne racetrack where Cookie took me to watch this summer.

Took the front calipers off the 748. Cleaned them up and removed the old lines in readiness for the new ones.

Might look at replacing some caliper bolts whilst its apart.

Where is the pleasure in paying a woman to allow you to finger her?

£1k? that seems excessive.
